For a stuck pressure plate
- press down on the clutch
- put into gear, parking brake firmly on
- operate the starter
Should separate adhesion between flywheel/clutch cover and the friction plate, as both flywheel and clutch cover will rotate, but friction plate will remain stationary.

Re: Not using car for longer period
That's what I was referring to earlier, the result sometimes was to rip the linings off the centre plate or tear the hub out.
